Cancer detection push AUSTRALIANS at risk of bowel cancer will get access to more frequent screening. The Federal Government will invest an additional $95.9m to ensure Australians aged 50 to 74 receive a free, at home bowel cancer screening kit every two years by 2020 rather than 2034 as was planned under the previous government. Previously, people between the age of 50 and 65 were sent screening kits every five years with nothing sent to those aged 66 to 74. It is estimated the program will invite around four million Australians to screen each year and can detect approximately 3500 potential bowel cancers each year. The expansion of the program to include the additional age groups of 70 to 74 started this year.
